CONNECTING A SURROUND CONTROLLER TO THE UNBALANCED INPUTS ON YOUR A 52

Ch 1-5 Unbalanced Inputs

Use these inputs if your surround controller doesn’t have balanced output connectors or if you simply prefer to use unbalanced connections.

RCA Plugs

What You’ll Need:

•Five shielded interconnect cables with RCA plugs

•A surround controller with five RCA output jacks

Before Connecting

❑Leave the AC cord on the A 52 disconnected until you have made all other connections to prevent any surprise burst of sound.

❑Make sure that all your cables are long enough so they are not pulled or stretched once they are connected.

❑Make sure the Balanced-Unbalanced Inputs selector switch on the A 52 is in its Unbalanced (lower) position and the Ground switch is in its Normal (lower) position.

To Connect

1Plug one end of the cable into the Unbalanced Ch 1 Input jack on the A 52.

2Plug the other end of the cable into the unbalanced output jack for the channel on your surround controller that you wish to correspond to Ch 1 on your A 52.

3 – 0 Repeat steps 1 and 2 for Ch 2, Ch 3, Ch 4, and Ch 5.

YOU SHOULD KNOW

Write Down Your Connections

Make a note of which channel on your surround controller now connects to each channel of the A 52 so you’ll always hear the channels in their intended position and to facilitate trouble-shooting in case you encounter a problem later on.
